Tough Night For Being 10-0
We were not able to get out to a Friday night game this week, and with many of the state’s top-ranked teams on first round section playoff byes, our focus became the plight of teams that were 10-0 in the regular season that did play in the CIF Southern Section, CIF L.A. City Section and...
Medium/Small Schools State FB Ranks
There will be one more set of these rankings next week after the regular season concludes everywhere in the state.

What We Saw: Clovis East-Clovis North
Based on its 38-21 victory on Friday at Lamonica Stadium over defending CIF Central Section D1 champion Clovis North, thoughts of Clovis East doing the same for 2024 — including going 13-0 through the section playoffs — were impossible not to arise. The Timberwolves displayed a very effective short passing spread offense that could not […]
